Nutr Diabetes 2024; 14:45. [PMID: 38886355 PMCID: PMC11183252 DOI: 10.1038/s41387-024-00302-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Increased free fatty acid (FFA) promotes adiponectin secretion in healthy subjects and induces inflammation in diabetes. Given the potential pro-inflammatory role of adiponectin in "adiponectin paradox", we performed this study in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to assess the association of FFA with adiponectin and to investigate whether adiponectin mediates FFA-related inflammation. METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of adult patients with T2DM. FFA, adiponectin, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were assayed from fasting venous blood after overnight fasting for at least 8 h. Multivariable linear regression analysis and restricted cubic splines (RCS) analysis were performed to identify the association between FFA and adiponectin. Mediation analysis was performed to determine the mediating effect of adiponectin on the association between FFA and TNF-α. RESULTS This study included 495 participants, with 332 males (67.1%) and a mean age of 47.0 ± 11.2 years. FFA was positively associated with adiponectin (b = 0.126, 95%CI: 0.036-0.215, P = 0.006) and was the main contributor to the increase of adiponectin (standardized b = 0.141). The RCS analysis demonstrated that adiponectin increased with FFA when FFA was less than 0.7 mmol/L but did not further increase thereafter (Poverall < 0.001 and Pnon-linear < 0.001). In addition, adiponectin mediated the association between FFA and TNF-α. The mediating effect was 0.08 (95%CI: 0.03-0.13, P = 0.003) and the mediating effect percentage was 26.8% (95%CI: 4.5-49.2, P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS In patients with T2DM, FFA was positively associated with adiponectin when FFA was less than 0.7 mmol/L. Elevated adiponectin mediated FFA-related inflammation. This study may provide insights into the pro-inflammatory effect of adiponectin in T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the relationship of fat in the pancreas with time spent in different glycaemic ranges. METHODS Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 Tesla was used to quantify fat in the pancreas as both continuous [i.e. intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD)] and binary (i.e. fatty change of the pancreas vs. normal pancreas) variables. Dexcom G6 devices were used to collect continuous glucose monitoring data every 5 min over a continuous 7-day period. Time above range (TAR), time in range (TIR) and time below range were computed. Statistical models were built to adjust for age, sex, body composition, and other covariates in linear regression analysis and analysis of covariance. RESULTS In total, 38 individuals were studied. IPFD was significantly associated with TAR (p = .036) and TIR (p = .042) after adjustment for covariates. For every 1% increase in IPFD, there was a 0.3 unit increase in TAR and a decrease in TIR. Individuals with fatty change of the pancreas, when compared with those with normal pancreas, had significantly higher TAR (p = .034) and lower TIR (p = .047) after adjustment for covariates. Neither IPFD (p = .805) nor fatty change of the pancreas (p = .555) was associated with time below range after adjustment for covariates. CONCLUSION Increased fat in the pancreas is associated with excessive glycaemic variability. Fatty change of the pancreas may contribute to heightening the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Association between residual islet beta-cell function and achieving the target of time in range in inpatients with type 2 diabetes undergoing antidiabetic treatment: An observation study. Diabetes Obes Metab 2023; 25:1714-1722.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether the beta-cell function of inpatients undergoing antidiabetic treatment influences achieving time in range (TIR) and time above range (TAR) targets. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 180 inpatients with type 2 diabetes. TIR and TAR were assessed by a continuous glucose monitoring system, with target achievement defined as TIR more than 70% and TAR less than 25%. Beta-cell function was assessed by the insulin secretion-sensitivity index-2 (ISSI2). RESULTS Following antidiabetic treatment, logistic regression analysis showed that lower ISSI2 was associated with a decreased number of inpatients achieving TIR (OR = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.19-8.06) and TAR (OR = 3.40, 95% CI: 1.35-8.55) targets after adjusting for potential confounders. Similar associations still existed in those participants treated with insulin secretagogues (TIR: OR = 2.91, 95% CI: 0.90-9.36, P = .07; TAR, OR = 3.14, 95% CI: 1.01-9.80) or adequate insulin therapy (TIR: OR = 2.84, 95% CI: 0.91-8.81, P = .07; TAR, OR = 3.24, 95% CI: 1.08-9.67). Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the diagnostic value of the ISSI2 for achieving TIR and TAR targets was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.66-0.80) and 0.71 (95% CI: 0.63-0.79), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Beta-cell function was associated with achieving TIR and TAR targets. Stimulating insulin secretion or exogenous insulin treatment could not overcome the disadvantage of lower beta-cell function on glycaemic control.

J Diabetes Investig 2022; 14:289-296.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION To explore whether carotid atherosclerosis is an independent risk factor for small fiber nerve dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 247 type 2 diabetes patients from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital received carotid ultrasonography and quantitative sensory testing, including cold and warm detection thresholds, and some patients received cold and heat pain detection thresholds, respectively. According to the results of quantitative sensory testing, patients were divided into normal small fiber nerve function (NSF) and small fiber nerve dysfunction (SFD) group. Meanwhile, patients were divided into the non-carotid atherosclerosis group, carotid intimal thickening, unilateral carotid atherosclerosis and bilateral carotid atherosclerosis group. The correlation between carotid ultrasonography with quantitative sensory testing parameters was analyzed by SPSS 26.0. RESULTS First, the incidence rate of SFD increased significantly in patients with carotid atherosclerosis (72.2%, P < 0.001) especially in bilateral carotid atherosclerosis (81.7%, P < 0.001). Second, compared with the NS group, the carotid intima-media thickness in SFD was thicker (P = 0.018) and the size of atherosclerotic plaque was larger (P < 0.001). In addition, the cold detection threshold decreased (P < 0.001), whereas the warm detection threshold (P < 0.001) and heat pain detection threshold (P < 0.001) increased as aggravation of carotid atherosclerosis. In the correlation analysis, the size of atherosclerotic plaque presented a positive correlation with the warm detection threshold (r = 0.476, P < 0.001) and heat pain detection threshold (r = 0.213, P < 0.001), but presented a negative correlation with the cold detection threshold (r = -0.239, P < 0.01). Furthermore, carotid atherosclerosis (odds ratio 2.326, P = 0.017), especially bilateral carotid atherosclerosis (odds ratio 5.042, P = 0.001), was an independent risk factor for SFD (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Carotid atherosclerosis was significantly associated with quantitative sensory testing and found to be an independent risk factor for small fiber nerve dysfunction in type 2 diabetes patients.
